CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 322,712, dated July 21,1885.

Application filed December 4, 1884. (No model.)

T all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JAMEs G. HARRIS, a citizen of the United States,residing at Franklin, in the county of Simpson and State of Kentucky,have invented certain new and usefullmprovements in Ohurns; and I dodeclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, reference being bad to theaccompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference markedthereon, which form a part of this specification.

I 5 Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of this invention, andis a top View. Fig. 2 is a side view, a portion being in section. Fig. 3is a detail section. Fig. 4 is a detail.

This invention has relation to churn-motors adapted to be operated byhand; and it consists in the construction and novel arrangement ofdevices, as hereinafter set forth, and pointed out in the appendedclaim.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates the main uprightor support, and B is the seat, which is notched in front for connectionto the support. The front portion of the seat is made narrow, as shown,and the rear portion of the seat is supported by the legs 0. The uprightA extends above the level'of the seat, and to its upper end is securedthe horizontal bar D, which we tends longitudinally and projects forwardfrom the upright to form the bearing-arm for the journal E of thepulley-head F, said journal playing in the bearing a near the end ofsaid arm.

G is the churn-dash, the rod H of which is provided with an ironthimble, b, having a square socket, c, at its upper end. The lower endof the journal E of the pulley-head F is squared to form a tenon adaptedto enter the socket 0. When so coupled, it may be fastened in the socketby a transverse key.

K represents a socket-bearing formed in the rear end of the horizontalbar D, and designed to receive the journal (1 of the vibratory are L,said journal being provided with a washer, e.

The are L consists of the board 9, the arcdeposit for the pulley-head,acts as a splashstrip h, and the transverse handlebar 7a, which isnailed to the rear edge of the board, and has its handles Z projectingtherefrom on each side. The bent strip h is secured to the curved edgeof the board, and projects above the same to form the forward marginalWall of the table, the rear wall being formed by the handle-bar. Therear ends of the arc strip are secured above in notches m of thehandle-bar, so that the are strip is held in a firm manner. To the endsof the board in rear are attached the rear ends of the operating strapsor cords N N, which extend forward on the arc strip and are attached bytheir pendants to the annular grooves or seats 8 of the pulley-head.These grooves or seats 8 are arranged one above the other, beingseparated by the middle annular flange, t, and the straps or cords N arewound thereon respectively in opposite directions. i

The operator, seated in rear of the upright A, grasps the thimbles ofthe arc, and by Vi- 'brating the same causes a rapid motion of thepulley-head and of the dash rod which is coupled thereto. After thechurning the pulley-head is raised to uncouple the dash-rod, so that thechurn can be removed from under the bar D and emptied.

The board 9, besides serving as a place of 8o guard.

B.indicates a disk having a central annular aperture for the passage ofthe dasher-shaft, and a series of radial angular apertures, as shown.This disk is placed in the churn near the upper end thereof, and isdesigned to assist in keeping down the cream.

I am aware that it is not new to provide a churn with a sectionaldasher-shaft, the upper section having a pulley, which is connected bymeans of a belt with a pivoted are, by which the said dasher isoperated, and therefore do not claim such devices, broadly.

Having described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, 1s

The churn-motor consisting of the upright A, having attached in rear theseat B, and in front the horizontal bar D, provided with front and rearbearings, the are L, having the ICO splash-board h and journal d, thesectional In testimony whereof I affix my signature flasher-shaftprovided with the pulley-head F in presence of two Witnesses.

at one end and the tenoned journal E at the opposite end of the uppersection, the said pulley being formed with the grooves separated by theflange t, and the connecting cords or straps N, substantially asspecified.

JAMES GARDNER HARRIS.
